FORScan Modifications

[airline tech]

I think the correct term = Secure Idle, leave truck running and walk away, cannot be shifted out of park without - FOB near truck
I myself have not played with that setting, however I did do the Dark Car Mode, addition to the IPC screen, this way I have the option of turning off all lights - and when the door is opened, the lights are disabled.

As far as the Dash (IPC) I do not believe there is a Forscan Tweak for that, however the SYNC screen there is (I Think) , suggest checking the Forscan Wiki thread on this forum, it has all known to work settings for the Ranger, they are based off of the extensive F-150 tweaks, some work on the Ranger and some don't, so there is a posted list of known working tweaks for the Ranger in that thread.

That likely can only be done with push button start (lariats) but it allows the vehicle to run similar to remote-start.

The more I think about it, I think Dark Car mode, includes the Dash (IPC) and Sync screens, I will have to test it, as it has been a while since I used it and do not remember for sure if the dash and sync are included in that setting along with the exterior and interior lighting.
So, if it does, you will lose interior and exterior lighting, with truck off and door opened.
Note all Forscan does is it adds a selectable option in the IPC setting screen to enable / disable it.
so you have the option to turn it on / off, without having the need for Forscan to do it.

I just jumped into the Forscan app and love it. Started with the free license and changed double honk, panic button on fob, Bambi mode, seatbelt chime and Bronco Splash screen. Disappointed that I can not control climate from the right cluster and steering wheel controls like I did on my Fusion.
I like it so much that I bought the company,, not really, just paid the $12 subscription fee, easily worth that to get rid of the double honk and panic button on the fob. I would say the process is almost idiot proof the way the change is enable or disable, kept notes on what I changed so will be an easy remedy if I want to put it back to normal.

Did you scroll through the dash screens to get to Truck INFO? Because if you have a factory FX4 then you should have this menu option.

Right. I don't have that in my FX4.

OG here, you should absolutely have the truck info screen, the individual wheel output screen has never worked for me, or anyone else I’ve seen it add, it’s more for the on-demand systems in something like an edge or escape where you don’t have direct control over the 4wd and the vehicle is primarily front wheel biased.

Wait - I shouldn't have it unless I turn it on, or I should already have it?

My truck, which is not an FX4, had the power distribution screen when it was new, and it does work, but it’s always going to be a 50/50 split in a part-time 4WD vehicle. I’m not sure if it shows left/right distribution or not if a wheel is slipping.

I enabled the off-road screen in mine when I installed the Terrain Management switch upgrade.

You should absolutely already have it, having the FX4 package. Unless it's not actually an FX4.

The truck info/off road screens are part of the FX4 package and you should definitely have them if you have the FX4 package. If you have the factory FX4 package and do not have those screens then I would be complaining to Ford about it.

You should already have the main screen with angles on an fx4 from the factory.

Do you have the “Power Distribution “ screen? I have an FX4 and I do have only the “Off Road” screen with the inclinometer, but I do not have the “Power Distribution “ screen. Is that something that is activated in FORSCAN?

Power distribution is enabled in forscan, but I’ve never seen it work.

Yeah! I have that. I don't have that power distribution screen.

So over this weekend I hit the “annoying horn button“ twice wile I was working with the key fob in my pocket. So my question is can that be turned off?
thanks
